Patator

Patator was written out of frustration from using Hydra, Medusa, Ncrack, Metasploit modules and Nmap NSE scripts for password guessing attacks. I opted for a different approach in order to not create yet another brute-forcing tool and avoid repeating the same shortcomings. Patator is a multi-threaded tool written in Python, that strives to be more reliable and flexible than his fellow predecessors.

The resulting stand-alone patator.exe executable was confirmed to run successfully on Windows 2003 (5.2.3790), Windows 7 (6.1.7600), Windows 2008 R2 SP1 (6.1.7601) and Windows 2012 R2 (6.3.9600), and is likely to work fine on other Windows versions.
